Simplicity defined: the SL Road is cycling in its purest form. We've kitted out this bike with the best technology, the sleekest looks and, above all, the potential for speed. We've even upgraded the brakes to disc for 2017, so you can stop safely in all weathers. But less is sometimes more - and that's why the SL Road is so fast on Tarmac, whether it's on the daily commute or a training ride on country B-roads. Minimalist cool - that's what it's all about.

Frame: We've welded the SL Road's aluminium frame from extremely light double butted tubes. Naturally, it's passed all our rigourous in-house CUBE testing and all necessary EN standards. We took the inspiration for the light aluminium fork's design from our racing bikes - the &ælig;ro shape is exceptionally stiff and looks fast even when standing still. We also routed the cables inside the down tube, adding to the sleek looks and reducing wear and tear in the process.

Features: We've thought of everything. If you want to, you can even retrofit the SL Road's built in fixing points with a luggage rack and mudguards. The combination of aluminium frame, Tektro HD-M285 hydraulic disc brakes, Simano Claris 8 speed derailleur gears and Schwalbe tyres makes for a fast, nimble machine that's at home in just about any situation on the road, in all weathers and at any time of year.

How do I determine the correct frame size?

Measure your inside leg:

The step length is the length of the inside of the leg. The best and most accurate measure of your stride length is by using a spirit level and a tape measure. If you have no spirit level to hand a book or similar works as well. Now, position yourself barefoot (!) on a flat surface and clamp the level (or the book) as level as possible between the legs and pull it upwards until it becomes gradually unpleasant. Now measure the distance from the top of the level to the ground. The reading corresponds to your stride length.

Determine the right frame size:

For a Road bike: Multiply your inside leg by a factor of 0.665. The value that you get is the theoretical frame height in cm. For a Triathlon bike subduct 3cm of your value.

For a Mountain bike: Multiply your inside leg by a factor of 0.226. The value that you get is the theoretical frame height in inches. Multiplied by 2.54, you get the frame height in cm.

For trekking bikes: Multiply your inside leg by a factor of 0.66. The value that you get is the theoretical frame height in centimeters. Multiply by 0.259 to get the frame height in inches. With suspension seat posts deduct about 5 cm (or 2 inches) from the theoretical size. If your value is between two offered heights, apply the following rule of thumb: Choose the smaller frame size for sporty driving style. A larger frame results in a more comfortable seating position.

Determine the framesize by your body size:

Alternatively you can determine your framesize also about your body size. However, the method of the step length is more accurate.

Please Note: Savings will differ for each individual

If your employer is a member of a cycle to work scheme (Cyclescheme, Bike2Work etc) all you need to do is visit one of our stores, or contact us to ask us for a quotation. Quotes can be provided for bicycles and bicycle accessories only. Once we have issued you a quotation, simply forward it to your employer for approval.

Cyclescheme is available for mail order however a delivery charge of £29 will apply. This charge cannot be include in your quotation and must be paid for prior delivery.

Please note: Unless your employer has a consumer credit licence the maximum spend limit for a bicycle & accessories is £1000. You can purchase bikes over £1000 and pay the difference, however legal ownership of the bike will remain the employers regardless of how much extra has been paid.
